b. from my experience, even including int'l postage, amazon.com is far cheaper than amazon.co.uk even excluding shipping.
c. wrong. any dvd can be switched to multi region.

a, Like Michael and Dana, I don't have a credit card, I have a debit card and you can't use those in the US. Not everyone has a credit card, hell not everyone has a bank account. I appreciate you implying that I'm a backwards yokel because I don't have one though. As you can see I do have a computer, and I also have a DVD player and a driver's license. Amazing eh? All without the aid of a credit card.

b, Most CDs cost £8.99 here. I can't see how the states could be cheaper than that. Plus if the CD was released in the UK I'd also have the option of buying it from websites such as Play.com and HMV.co.uk, where the postage is absolutely free. Oh and from my local record shop too of course.
Plus like I said before I'd get it in a day or two if ordered from my own country rather than having to wait several weeks for it to arrive.

c, I'm afraid not every DVD player can be made multi-region so easily, the cheaper ones sure, but if you've got a more expensive one the likelihood is it would have to be chipped and that costs money and bother.

No, not everyone owns a credit card. It's not like you can get them together with a carton of laundry detergent.

It's the same here in the UK. I know plenty of people who make a lot of money who don't have credit cards.

Yep, the cheap DVDs players are easy to change, but my Toshiba I never could. You can get them chipped, although you're not supposed to!

Obviously we're being unreasonable wanting to be able to buy a Region 2 DVD from a local store instead of having to import one all the way from the States.

It isn't so much about multi-region DVD player or rich people with credit cards, it is just not fair that we already get screwed with all the tours and now we Europeans also get screwed over with CD releases, which will be postponed to the last possible date. It gets really frustrating at times, so please don't try to justify everything that we can buy it online from America and so on. It would've just been nice if the label would be able to release the stuff here instead of finding dumb excuses not to.
It is always: WE have to fly there to see them....WE have to purchase the album there and there, etc....why do we always have to make sacrifices?Because some people forget, Europe is the biggest market for Fleetwood Mac in terms of album sales, and that is what they underestimate! PERIOD!

what i'm trying to say is that if someone
can't change the dvd settings,
believes that shipping a cd may take several weeks,
hopes to buy a newly released cd+dvd for £8.99,
won't use a credit card,
all that doesn't make someone a backwards yokel, it just means that this person won't be amongst the first ones to enjoy stevie nicks' new album, that's all.

I emailed John Kinney at the Nicks Fix regarding the track listing.
This is his response, so hopefully we should hear something soon.

Hi Sandy,

I haven't seen the CD, so I'm not sure which is correct...I'll find out.

John

Okay

It would just be nice to buy it on the same day as all the American fans that's all.
It is supposed to be coming out in Europe eventually but when I don't know.

Thanks Romy, but I have a different DVD player now and thankfully it's multi-region

Based on the promotional trailer and the promo copy my friend Randy received, I am certain that the listing that includes "Silver Springs" rather than "Gold Dust Woman," and omits "Has Anyone Ever Written," is the correct one.

I doubt the limited edition would feature anything different.

Wouldn't that be a pisser if it did!

Johnny Stew · #58 03-12-2007, 06:40 PM

Oh, yeah... not to mention the fact that Amazon.com now has audio samples for each track on the CD.

("Rock And Roll" sounds awesome, for the record.)

Definitely! But I highly, highly doubt it will.
It looks to me that whomever put the page up at the Warner Bros. Store was simply, and mistakenly, going by an earlier potential tracklisting.

Ya, I agree, A mandatory worldwide release is fair for all of us fans.hell with the DVD region code sh$t and the special packaging crap.give us a break.
all the labels care about, is the money. nevermine ripping off the artists and fans.
